When the family grows but the property becomes too small
When you have to sell a property under stress, you are rarely satisfied with the result. You quickly accept the next best offer without having the property professionally appraised beforehand. Even during the marketing phase, you have to juggle many appointments. Viewings, in particular, take time. Time that you actually need to look at your own future property.
New children and a new property – always better with an agent
"Help, we can't do this" – if you have to admit this to yourself, it's time to contact a local real estate agent who can not only help you sell your old property at the best possible price. But also, of course, find your new dream property with enough rooms for all (future) family members. This means that you can devote yourself entirely to the anticipation – to the child and the new home. Meanwhile, the real estate agent gets to work. First, they will evaluate your old property. Based on their experience and knowledge of the regional market, they will set the right price.
Finding the right buyer – the professional has an eye for it
And then they start marketing. Where laypeople quickly lose track, they keep a cool, professional head. A missing floor plan, poor photos, or even the lack of an energy performance certificate—that won't happen with him. He will carefully compile all the documents, take good photos for an informative brochure, and also take care of the viewing management. With his keen eye, he can filter out who is really interested in your property, who has the right credit rating, and which prospective buyers are just window shopping.
When the sales negotiations bear fruit
Once serious prospective buyers have been found, price negotiations begin. Where you would probably quickly become unsettled—for example, if a buyer wants to push down the price—the real estate agent knows how to conduct the negotiations in order to achieve the intended price. And if you are lucky, you will not only recoup the price of the new property that your real estate agent had in their portfolio for you, but also have something left over for the household budget. You can invest this in the move or in a stroller, crib, and other items.
